[Football] Sol Bamba **RIP 31 Aug 2024**

[Shooting Star]

The first thing I thought of when I heard that Sol Bamba had denied taking his shirt off to the ref, was that his lie was incredibly disrespectful to Demarai Gray in light of his booking for taking his shirt off to reveal the Vichai tribute message. Obviously Atkinson is primarily at fault for creating such an incredulous situation, but I would have thought Bamba would have been a bit more sensitive to last week's events. Anyone else have the same reaction?

Bit too nuanced for me

I doubt it even crossed his mind. He saw a way out of a booking and took it. Refs fault only.

Get over it ffs

 

[CHAPPERS]

Why don't they just book players for this retrospectively, if the referee should miss it?

There’s more to life then worrying if an oppo player got yellow card for something that had no effect on the result!

 

[The Optimist]

No.

Grow up, let it go. He took his top off FFS, it's not violent conduct or a leg breaker.

Christ, are we really so bitter that we're trying to link Sol Bamba taking his shirt off with the death of a chairman?

you're having a laugh, right ?

 

[Wardy's twin]

Referees are fallible and inconsistent end of....

Why?

It's a clear cut offence and can easily be punished after the event. I'm not worried about this instance at all, but it does seem like an easy way out for officials.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

He probably thought he'd try his luck (cheeky thing) and was just as surprised as everyone that the ref was daft enough to believe him.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I'm still FUMING that Bamba escaped a card*.


*not this yellow - that one is inconsequential - but the straight red he SHOULD have had for his blatant handball on the line, in the Leicester game. No fault of his, but he shouldn't even have been on the pitch on Saturday

 

[Badger Boy]

We allowed Sol Bamba to look like a world class finisher.

That's the part I'm still fuming about.

Why do they bother with "assistant " referees if they don't assist?
Missed an offside apparently and also failed to tell the ref about missing the booking.

Have a day off mate. There are so many things to be getting worried about in this day and age. Sol Bamba taking his shirt off aint one of them.

The officials allowed it by not flagging him offside when he clearly was.

I think he should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute by blatantly lying and then laughing about it. Not carded but a fine to go to charity.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

No. I genuinely couldn't care less. If it was one of our players I hope they would have done the same as it's a ridiculous rule anyway.
